ARMOUR & BODY ARMOUR SYSTEMS
Our plates are made of composite or a combination of composite & ceramic materials. The composite/ceramic plates are tested according to NIJ Standards-0101.06 & SANS 1658:2007. We have a variety of options including hard and soft plates in our composite range.
OTHER GEAR
We are identifying and stocking a bespoke selection of gear to complement your personal protection. Our inventory is growing daily and we are constantly looking to provide a wider, more popular number of brands and designs to meet the market requirements.
Why Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene & Ceramic Armour Plates?
UHMWPE & CERAMICS
Kevlar resists heat, has great tensile strength, and is lightweight. Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), provides a great bulletproof ability when combined with other materials.
FUNCTIONAL & RELIABLE
Excellent resistance to stress and high resistant to cracking. Abrasion wear resistance – 15 times more resistant to abrasion than carbon steel. Low weight with high strength. Extreme hardness and durability, good chemical resistance, impact resistance, easy to fabricate and a very low coefficient of friction.
STRONG & RESILIENT
It has extremely long chains, with a molecular mass usually between 3.5 and 7.5 million amu. The longer chain serves to transfer load more effectively to the polymer backbone by strengthening intermolecular interactions. This results in a very tough material, with the highest impact strength of any thermoplastic presently made.
SAFE & RECYCLABLE
It’s non-toxic. FDA approved for use in food and medical applications. UHMWPE is biocompatible and stable in the body. UHMWPE is recyclable.
Armour Plates
Our plates are tested to NIJ Standard-0101.06 & SANS 1658:2007. They are tested to NIJ standard and are rated at threat levels IIIA (Soft), IIIA (Hard), III, and IV. Our UHMWPE/Ceramic Armour Plates aim to provide the highest protection at the lightest weight to protect the user while also minimising the impact it has on mobility and endurance.
Body Armour Systems
There are countless versions of body armour vests and plate carriers, some are practical and others are for show. We have used our extensive network, professional experience and operational understanding to source and develop effective systems that meet the day-to-day challenges of operational and personal applications.
Helmets
Our tactical helmet is one of the few on the market that provides high protection and maximum durability without compromising comfort and performance. Modular Integrated Communications Helmet & FAST helmets are the ultimate protective headgear and one of the most modern tactical combat helmets in the market.
